Hypnotics and Anxiolytics: Part 3.

In this part, we will look forward to the goals of treatment proposed by hypnotics and anxiolytics agents. Such goals are:

• To reduce the duration, severity and frequency of symptoms.
• To improve overall functioning of the CNS.
• To improve the quality of life.

In the next post, I would emphasize on the medications used in treating the disorders. Most commonly used medications include:

• Benzodiazepines.
• Barbiturates.
• Zolpidem.
• Zalephon.

• Hydroxyzine.
